on local tv today, kobe said that he is already able to dunk that is fucking insane
fuck this sounds painfull, i sincerely wish a fast and easy as possible recovery,man
Damn aj I feel for you. I just partially tore mine jumping in my pool drunk and banged it on the bottom. It hurt like hell and took months to get back to normal. I can't imagine to that extent. Good luck with it. I wish you a speedy recovery.
At least you have got an awesome kitchen. Three months isn't that long. Its been nine months since my nose op and its still not recovered. That surgery takes a full year and one doctor told me it can even take up to 18 months.
It's gonna take about 3 months to be back, more or less. Surgery offered the best outcomes WRT recovery and re-injury (shudder).
When is physical therapy beginning? I would think about 4 to 6 weeks?
Ouch. Dang. Sorry 'bout that.
Only 3 months recovery is incredible. My little tear took a good 8 months to heal itself. Walking down stairs were a bitch, I remember that.
Yes I think it will take much longer. The achilles takes ages to heal due to the blood flow taking a long time to get down to that area. Maybe the surgeon is not being completely honest. I know that surgeons here don't tell you much. My surgeon gave me no info what so ever about recovery time. I was shocked at the swelling. I asked about training and all he said was don't drop something on your nose, but gave me no info at all in regards to how to keep swelling down to a minimum. In the end I started taping my nose when I trained and when I slept at nights. I was very disappointed with the communication of the surgeon.
3 months to heal is quite different from returning to athletic training in 3 months. I hope he's right about the 3 month recovery.
I am sure that I won't be sprinting in 3 months. My goal is to be walking without a limp or a cane in that period of time. I am going to see how PT progresses and my doctor's advice on how hard/ how fast I can push it.
Hopefully the doctor can give you some solid advice because my experience here is very disappointing.
He's a sports medicine fellow and NCAA Div 1 team doc, so he has a lot of experience with these. Of course, that's with 20-something athletes, not 48 year-old executives There appears to be a lot of newish thinking around Achilles healing in the last 10 years.
Fucking hell...I wanted to baseline a Vicodin so I waited 7 hours for my next one. Too long. As soon as I had to move, the pain was off the charts. I am posting on GetBig instead of screaming in agony.
I took my painkillers on the exact times for the first week after my surgery. I had minimal pain. I suggest you take them as prescribed. There is no reason what so ever to endure pain. It slows recovery
